Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Penetrating Wisdom
The Aspiration of Samantabhadra
The reason we rely on the Vajra master is that we have already tried many different methods to wake ourselves up, but none of them really worked.
